I think her face looks a little weird here (kind of squished, maybe?) but other than that, it's a pretty good figure. (My husband, however, insisted that we had to pre-order her IMMEDIATELY. So we did. :P)

This is what figures should be like. Not a Madoka fan but I still think this is amazing. Figures these days tend to deviate from the original design. Even when they get the face right, they have to do something "alternative", like some beach queen bullshit. I just want my characters to be exactly the way they appear in the anime, with their trademark clothes on. This is apparently too much to ask.

The whole, "Beach Queens", series is pretty low-average in quality anyways. Manufacturers like Good Smile and Alter tend to deliver, on average, much higher quality figures, regardless of what outfit they have them in. Alternate outfits can be great too, especially if you plan on collecting more than one version of the same character (＝ω＝)
